3.5 Gas smell after fill up

Recommended Posts

Been having this issue on my wife's 2013 Limited with 97K miles.  We don't, or should I say, no longer put more gas in after the first click.  Having said this, we replaced (with Ford Part) the full charcoal canister and solenoid assembly.  After replacement the car had 1/2 tank so we filled it up.

 

The first day after fill up, no smell so we thought we  were in the clear, but now 3 days later after driving, the garage is filled with the gas aroma again.  A physical review of the gas tank does not reveal any current or former leak. 

 

Thoughts or suggestions please?

 

Thanks,

 

Ed

A leaking vacuum hose can cause this.

 

Had exactly the same thing. Smell of gas in garage, nothing on floor. Happened after fill up, never overfilled.  Eventually the hose set a CEL.

 

Ford garage said the hose was down behind the back of the engine (facing cabin). Had to pull manifold to get to it. Had extended warranty which covered cost. Think they said it would have been around $300 (mostly labor), but that was years ago.
